[00:00.166] He drinks orange juice and vodka
[00:04.444] In the basement while she's talking
[00:08.833] To someone long distance for hours and hours on end
[00:16.929] And as he's slowly sippin'
[00:20.580] He thinks about his children
[00:25.084] And the heart attacks that youngest daughter's always giving him
[00:33.142] He ain't smoked no *********
[00:38.022] Since he got on with the railroad
[00:41.820] And he's been on with the railroad for a long and lonesome while
[00:50.162] But the day that he retires
[00:54.329] He will smoke himself to China
[00:58.478] He will leave behind his worries as he's racing through the sky
[01:08.785] Oh the days are dark down in the holler
[01:16.120] Waiting for the sun to shine
[01:24.744] On the back you've been breaking
[01:32.724] Trying to earn peace of mind
[01:41.135] She sells Avon to her buddies
[01:45.905] And saves a little money
[01:50.188] For all the makeup she's been using to hide away the years
[01:58.590] And she sits and watches TV
[02:02.399] Usually every evening
[02:06.936] If there ain't some kind of ball game her daughter has to cheer
[02:14.888] She sneaks menthols every morning
[02:19.077] While her family's still snoring
[02:23.252] As she burns the Eggos she looks back at her life
[02:31.576] That heart she broke in highschool
[02:35.658] He's singing on the Opry
[02:39.792] She wonders what the hell that she was thinking at the time
[02:48.013] Oh the days are dark down in the holler
[02:55.547] Waiting for the sun to shine
[03:03.883] On the back you've been breaking
[03:11.889] Trying to earn peace of mind
[03:28.632] Their youngest daughter Stella
[03:33.193] She's been running with this fella
[03:37.367] That he cannot stand the thought of, that he surely does despise
[03:45.823] He's told her he best never
[03:49.755] See the two of them together
[03:53.982] But it's hard to keep an eye on her when you're working all the time
[04:02.378] There are things he needs to tend to
[04:06.354] And the bills the bank keeps sendin'
[04:10.642] Lord, the zeros on the end keep pushing further to the right
[04:18.665] Like a freight train hauling sorrow
[04:22.921] And moving ever onward
[04:26.974] Through the tunnel of forever towards the never ending light
